Telecom deregulation [View all]

ive been seeing/hearing more and more 'conservative' groups in the state pushing for new telecom rules in our state ..

anybody have any idea how this would effect phone/internet services in the state?

they claim now that there are plenty of telecom companies, regulation is no longer needed... that competition will keep prices low as well as open up more choices to pick from to the customer..

I have very little knowledge about telecom laws/regulations...

anybody know anything about the subject and could give a telecom novice like myself some insight ?
